Baby # 2 is on the way

WEll, I've actually known for quite a while but wanted to wait until I was far enough along to make the announcement. Colt will be a big brother in October or possibly the end of September. My actual due date is October 9th. I've had 3 sono's so far and everything looks good. Yesterday my ob told me she was going to ask her Dr. friend who does sono's for high risk pregnancy's if he would be able to detect Hirschsprungs in a sono. Apparently he said he could b/c she called me today and had already made me an appt. I have to wait until I'm 20 weeks when the baby's bowels are functioning. So I'm very excited about that. I really don't think anything is wrong but it will be nice to rule it out.
So my next appt is April 27th. I will be 16 wks so I hope to find out the sex. If the baby is cooperative we'll be able to tell but if not, we'll definitely be able to tell on the 3D sono at 20 wks. I can't wait!
Other than that, we are really looking forward to summer. I want to savor every moment I have while it's just Colt and I. A part of me is a little sad that he won't be the only child anymore, but I know it will be what's best for him. Jared and I both enjoyed having a sibling so close in age. Colt is growing up so fast. He has started saying words. It's crazy how he can communicate already!
Well, please keep us all in your prayers as we begin this new journey (again)
